Using the generic marshaller has drawbacks beyond performance. One such
drawback is that it breaks the stack unwinding from the Linux kernel due
to having unsufficient data to walk past ffi_call_unixt64. That means that
performance profiling by application developers looks grouped among
seemingly unrelated code paths.
While we can't fix the kernel unwinding here, we can provide proper
c_marshallers and va_marshallers for objects within Gio so that
performance profiling of applications is more reliable.
Related to GNOME/Initiatives#10
Spotted in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/586. Bad input
on GAppLaunchContext environment manipulation functions is caught by
inner code, but the warning is not seemingly related.
Add precondition checks to these functions so it's clear where does the
bad input come from.
The g_app_info_launch_uris_async() and g_app_info_launch_uris_finish()
functions are crucial to fix g_app_info_launch_default_for_uri_async()
to be really asynchronous.
This patch also adds GDesktopAppInfo implementation of that vfuncs.
The implementation may still use some synchronous calls to local MIME DB.

This will fix a few broken links in the documentation, and shut up a
load of gtk-doc warnings (but certainly not all of them).

The OpenURI portal has a separate method to handle local
files now. Use it.
At the same time, split out the openuri helpers into separate
files, and generate code for the OpenURI portal.

Otherwise, we might end up returning TRUE from
g_app_info_launch_default_for_uri but with a set error parameter. This
will lead to confusing results depending on how the caller checks for
errors. Checking error != NULL indicats the call failed but checking the
return value indicates that it succeeded.
We currently assume that the OpenURI portal should be used
unconditionally when running inside a flatpak sandbox. While
the portal is what we usually want, there are exceptions:
Yelp is now included in the GNOME runtime to allow displaying
help without exporting the user documentation, and the sandboxed
app itself may register a scheme handler.
To account for those cases transparently, always try the normal
code path first and only fall back to calling the portal when
that fails.

Calling the D-Bus method for the OpenURI portal "protects" the logic from
not ever having the remote method running in case the xdg-desktop-portal
process is not yet running and the caller quits quickly after the call.
This should not be a problem as the method returns immediately (regardless
of the user making a selection), but making it synchronous would prevent
situations where the OpenURI method would never be called because of D-Bus
dropping the message after the caller dies, without explicitly waiting for
a reply.

If we have an input parameter (or return value) we need to use (nullable).
However, if it is an (inout) or (out) parameter, (optional) is sufficient.
It looks like (nullable) could be used for everything according to the
Annotation documentation, but (optional) is more specific.
xdg-desktop-portal support is only usable on *NIX platforms, so don't build
them on non-*NIX platforms. Also clean up gio/Makefile.am a bit to split out
the listings for the platform-specific sources from the platform-neutral
sources, and assemble them for the final list of sources required for libgio.

We need to patch in the portal support at a high enough
level that GAppInfo is not involved - a sandboxed app may
not be able to see any applications, so it can only launch
the defaults.
Note that even though the API is called launch_default...,
the portal may still offer the user to choose the application
to launch.

Since we are no longer using sgml mode, using /* */ to
escape block comments inside examples does not work anymore.
Switch to using line comments with //
Since all element markup is now gone from the doc comments,
we can turn off the gtk-doc sgml mode, which means that from
now on, docbook markup is no longer allowed in doc comments.
To make this possible, we have to replace all remaining
entities in doc comments by their replacement text, & -> &
and so on.
As it turns out, we have examples of internal functions called
type_name_get_private() in the wild (especially among older libraries),
so we need to use a name for the per-instance private data getter
function that hopefully won't conflict with anything.
gnome-session needs to know the startup id that was given to
a started app; this was not available via GAppLaunchContext.
This commit adds a ::launched signal to get this information.
At the same time, turn the launch_failed vfunc into a signal
as well.
